After debuting with the second biggest global opening of all-time behind 2019’s Avengers: Endgame last month, Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now become the second-fastest movie to pass the $2 billion milestone at the global box office.
The Destin Daniel Cretton-directed Spidey sequel achieved the feat in 17 days (compared to Endgame’s 11 days), closing out its third weekend with $2.023 billion worldwide. It has now surpassed the previous instalment Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.922 billion), making it both the highest-grossing Spider-Man movie to date and the highest-grossing release for Sony Pictures. It’s also now the eighth-biggest film of all-time, and will go on to overtake Avengers: Infinity War ($2.048 billion) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.048 billion) in the coming days.

While Brand New Day continues to soar at the box office, so too does the other big July release for power stars Tom Holland and Zendaya, with Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey taking its global haul to $1.291 billion and giving the power couple the two biggest movies of the year so far. Neither are expected to reprise their Marvel roles for Avengers: Doomsday in December, although Zendaya will be represented on Dunesday as she returns to Arrakis for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three.
It’s a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves – a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Spider-Man: Brand New Day features a cast that includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo.
